"Seems it's going to be a long journey before both come together with a lot of compromises, but it will be good to see them in politics, they have to sort out the differences," said Parvathy, an MNM cadre who was at the party office.

When a reporter asked, "Will Rajinikanth join Makkal Needhi Maiam or both the parties will come together?" Kamal Haasan with a smirk said "This question is not at all fair one, I cannot answer for sensation, We coming together is good news for Tamil Nadu for now"
